Welcome to Longfellow's Fall Book Fair! We're excited to partner again with Anderson's Bookshop in Naperville for this online fundraiser. Proceeds support programs like birthday books. Our partnership with Anderson's has also allowed us to bring in authors like Remy Lai, Nick Bruel, and Annie Barrows for virtual visits.
The book fair committee has created recommended reading lists across interests and reading levels. Be sure to look for Longfellow teacher recommendations with 💙! Clicking on the links will bring you to abcfairs.com, where you can also search Anderson's full inventory and check out. Remember to enter LONGFELLOW ELEMENTARY, OAK PARK, and your child's grade/teacher so your order counts towards our fundraiser.
If you select "School Pick-Up" at checkout, shipping is free and you'll be able to pick up your order at school in early November. We will also offer contactless delivery for families who prefer that option.

Ms. Hill (5th grade) would like picture books about diversity and inclusion to spark conversation at her morning meeting. Shop here if you'd like to purchase a book for this or check out our Celebrate Diversity list below.
Ms. Niewald (5th grade) loves student recommendations! If your student has a favorite book they want to share with her class, you can purchase it at abcfairs.com and enter her name in the notes so the book fair committee can deliver it to her.
Anderson's also sells e-gift cards.
